Roberts reasoning for not wanting them distributed was reasonable, I mean... Imagine, you an artist.
You create a beautiful masterpiece that is held in high asteem and showcased in a grand ballroom (I'm getting really descreptive here, heh).
Then, all of a sudden, you get on the internet and see snapshots of your high asteemed mona-lisa style picture. Only, they were taken well before the painting was completed. People are throwing these around, aweing in its incompleteness.
Would you want people to awe at the masterpiece you created, or photographs of the incomplete, what you were neither satisfied with nor finished with?
I did kinda imagine there would be a problem, hince my comment about the "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" in capitlizations on the mp3 file itself
. Although, I kinda suspected Robert let them out simply because the album has been complete for some time (which was clearly not the case). However, his reasoning is perfectly understandable - And besides, why listen to the "beta's" when you have that beautiful big eyed album in your CD player anyway?
Now, on the other hand, this brings up a real cool idea. If, out of spare time and boredom, MaSu was to release a track or two without the vocals (not that I don't love the vocals
) we could very well karaoke and post our patheticness here on the forums, which would be real amusing. Anyone unfortunate enough to download our karaoke mp3's could see why we arn't singers
We need another contest of sorts, though, whatever the form. The video contest was fun, even if I didn't have a hand in the video uberness
